Faculty
LELAND GRIGGS '02, Professor of Zoology Emeritus, died in his sleep at his Hanover home, 11 Pleasant Street, on the night of June 28. He would have been 86 years old August 22.
Professor Griggs, who retired in 1948 after teaching at Dartmouth for forty years, was affectionately known as "Doc" Griggs to his Hanover associates and to many hundreds of alumni who had taken his courses, shared Bait and Bullet trips with him, or partaken of his masterfully cooked steaks and strawberry shortcakes at the "feeds" he put on at Outing Club cabins or at his own cabin on Clark's Pond near Hanover. In small groups of three or four, the students in his courses were entertained at his cabin, and it was there, around the fireplace, that oral examinations were sometimes given in the advanced courses of small enrollment. Hundreds of Dartmouth students who did not have these intimate contacts with "Doc" Griggs heard him give his famed talk to the incoming freshman class, a traditional part of the matriculation program for many years. In an era more congenial to extracurricular companionship and faculty characters, Professor Griggs was one of the best known and best liked men on the Dartmouth campus.
This memorable side of his Dartmouth career was matched by his effectiveness as a teacher. In 1908, the year he received his Ph.D. at Dartmouth, he joined the faculty as assistant instructor in biology. He was named instructor in zoology the next year, became assistant professor in 1914, and full professor in 1920. He retired in 1948, but continued to go to his Silsby Hall office almost daily.
His field trips to Newfoundland and other northern regions led to his becoming an expert photographer of nature and wildlife. For six years, 1920 to 1926, he conducted a special course in nature photography for interested students; and for eight years, 1926 to 1934, he was one of the faculty lecturers in the required freshman course in evolution.
Professor Griggs was born in Rutland, Vt., on August 22, 1878. At Dartmouth he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was valedictorian of the Class of 1902. After graduation he remained in Hanover for three years as laboratory assistant and graduate student under Prof. William Patten, working for his doctorate. He left in 1905 to teach biology at Doane College in Nebraska, but returned to Dartmouth for good in 1907 to complete his Ph.D. and then become a member of the biology faculty. In 1913-14 he spent a year at Cambridge University in England. Professor Griggs for many years gave his special course in Natural History (Zoology 17), open to the three upper classes, and he also was one of the group teaching the elementary zoology course. From 1926 through 1933 he was chairman of the Department of Biology. He served as faculty representative on the Dartmouth Athletic Council in earlier years, and for 15 years he was Warden of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. He was especially interested in the little chapel at Beaver Meadow and gave freely of his time and money to keep it going through the years.
Professor Griggs was married in 1925 to the former Cornelia Lathrop Preston of Thetford Center, Vt. Two sons by that marriage survive him: Samuel Griggs of St. Johnsbury, Vt., and David Griggs '52 of Anderson, S. C.; also six grandchildren. Funeral services were private, with interment in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions were made to the Dartmouth Christian Union.

He served as president of the Claremont Gas Light Company, director of the Monadnock Mills, and president of the Town Republican committee.
Mr. Colby prepared for Dartmouth at Stevens High School and while in Hanover was active in Alpha Delta Phi and Casque and Gauntlet. After receiving his A.B. in 1894 he went on to earn his LL.B. at Boston University in 1897.
Mrs. Colby passed away in 1942. Dartmouth survivors include a son, Ira Jr. '27, and two grandsons, Ira III '56, and James G. '54. Mr. Colby's father was a member of the Class of 1857. Three daughters, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren also survive.
1895
FRANK EUGENE AUSTIN passed away on June 21 in Winter Park, Florida. He was in his 92nd year.
Professor Austin received his B.S. from Dartmouth, went on to Norwich University, where he received his E.E., and returned to teach at Thayer School from 1901 to 1921. He also taught engineering at Norwich.
In 1896 he, Dr. Oilman Frost, and Prof. Edwin Frost took the first X-ray photograph of the human body. Prof. Austin is also known as the inventor of the "ant house" with glass sides for observing the daily activities of the ant kingdom, and he was the author of several books on unrelated subjects.
He is survived by his wife, at 503 Carleton Road, Westfield, N. J., and one daughter.
1901

He received his A.B. and M.S. degrees at Dartmouth and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In recent years he had been a member of the Masonic bodies, including both the consistory and shrine, a charter member of the Town Club of Ishpeming, and the National Education Association.

He specialized as an investment counselor and acted as executor in the settlement of various estates.
David also had two uncles, David Emery Bradley, D 1863, and Charles Frederick Bradley, D 1873.
His classmates join in sending their sincere sympathy to the members of his family.
Earlier in the summer the Class Secretary was advised through the College Office of Alumni Records of the death in July 1961, of DR. GREGORY NAZARETH ABDIAN while traveling
in Germany. He is survived by a son, A. G. Abdian of 5418 Rickenbacker Ave., Alexandria, Va. Burial was in Barre, Mass.
In behalf of the Class, its secretary has written to the son of its sympathy in his father's death.
1904
COLONEL BURRITT HAVILAH HINMAN died June 14 at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, after a short illness.
"Rosy," as he was affectionately, known to all his classmates, came from Colebrook Academy and Exeter Academy. He was born July 3, 1882, at North Stratford, N. H. After graduating from Dartmouth, he entered University of Michigan where he received his law degree and he was also a graduate of the Sorbonne, Paris.
Rosy was admitted to the Bar of New Hampshire in 1908 and practiced law in Berlin and Manchester, N. H. He became active in the National Guard in N. H. and served on the border in the Mexican War and when war broke out in 1917 he was back in active service with the Armed Forces in Europe, as Captain in the 103rd Infantry, 26th Division. He was a member of the Judge Advocate's office in the U.S. Army from 1920 to 1946 when he retired with the rank of Colonel and was honored with the award of the Legion of Merit. He was County Solicitor of Coos County, N. H., a member of the General Court for five years from the town of Stratford, and a former member of the Selectmen of Stratford.
Rosy, Don Logan and Beck met in Paris in 1918 and over many champagne cocktails at the Cafe de la Paix composed and sent to President Hopkins the famous postcard — "We are fighting to make Hanover a safe place to hold reunions in." This card Hoppy carried and read to most of the alumni associations around the country.
Rosy leaves besides his dear wife, Ellen, who resides at North Stratford, two sons, Robert and Burritt Jr. '41, a daughter, a brother, John 'OB, two sisters, and six grandsons.
A message of sympathy and respect was sent to his wife Ellen, who was present at our reunion and near Rosy in his last illness at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover.
One of 1904's greats has left us — we mourn his passing.
PENFIELD MOWER passed away May 25, 1964, after a long illness in a nursing home near Boston. Pen was born May 19, 1883 in New York City, and at his death was 81 years of age. His family lived in Rockford, Ill., and Pen received his early education there.
In college he became a member of Phi Gamma Delta and for 50 years was a very active supporter and officer of that fraternity as national president. Upon graduation, Pen entered Harvard Law School and received his degree in 1907. He practiced law in Chicago, but found he was unhappy in that profession and in 1909 became associated with the investment firm of Henry L. Doherty. Still later he was Manager of West & Co. of Philadelphia with his headquarters in Boston. In 1931 Pen started his own firm of Penfield Mower, Inc., of Boston and in 1939 he retired. In 1935 he married Dr. Sara M. Jordan and for 17 years lived in Marblehead, Mass. His chief joy was a bridge game with Sexton, Sid Rollins and Hayward Rolfe. Pen and Sara had hosts of friends and entertained generously. He was a director in several companies and trustee of three trusts.
The death of his wife was a loss from which Pen never recovered. For a man socially inclined and with a host of friends, he withdrew from them all and spent his last days in a nursing home. Pen has joined his beloved Sara. We all loved him. He was a man with unusual capacity for friendship which he shared with all of us.
He is survived by his brothers, Robinson Mower '09 of Berkeley, Calif., and Clarendon Mower '15 of Rockford, Ill., and by two nephews.
CHARLES JAMES RICH passed away August 7, after a short illness, at his summer home in Scituate, Mass., at the age of 81. A native and lifetime resident of Norwood, Mass., he spent his business career in the printing industry and was general manager of Berwick and Smith. He later owned his own printing business, The Norwood Press.
Charles attended Dartmouth his freshman year only and was graduated from M.I.T. His son Charles Jr. graduated from Dartmouth in 1933. Charles never felt he was entitled to be called a full-fledged 1904 classmate because he was in Dartmouth only one year. What a mistake!
Your Secretary has expressed to his son the respect and regards of the Class of 1904 for his father.

Funeral services were held in the chapel of the Cardigan Mountain School to which "Hap" had devoted all his attention after retiring from business in the mid-forties. The Class was represented at the service by Larry Bankart, Andy Scarlett and Russ Meredith.
"Hap" Hinman gave a large share of his remarkable store of energy to the Class and Dartmouth. Recognition of this devotion was made by the College through his being named "Class Secretary of the Year" in 1949 and by the presentation of a distinguished service award during our 50th-Year reunion. He served as Class Secretary from 1930 to 1951. He served also on the Alumni Council.

"Gee" was one of the most popular members of the Class of 1912. Born in Arlington, Mass., September 9, 1899, he prepared for college at Arlington High School. At Dartmouth his career was a distinguished one. Blessed with an excellent voice, he was a member of the Glee Club all four years and its leader his senior year.

CEDRIC ERROL FRANCIS died May 28, 1964 after a long and wasting illness. "Ced" was a difficult man from. whom to get any information about himself, hence his death for several weeks passed unnoticed by any of his classmates.

During his four years at Dartmouth he was an honor man, a member of the varsity relay team, president of the Wheelock Club, a member of the College Choir, and active in the Dartmouth Christian Association.

Eight years later he engaged in promotion of mining stock, and finally entered the automobile business in Puerto Rico and in Canada. In 1954 he attempted to retire but was influenced by his physician to continue work.

1914
Death struck thrice at the Hinman family and Dartmouth College within a month and took our own HAZEN BEACHER HINMAN, his brother, Burritt '04, and, three weeks later, his brother, Harold '10.
"Rosy" came to us from North Stratford, N. H., where he graduated from Stratford High School. He quickly established himself on the campus, not because he was a member of the well-known Hinman clan, but because he was just "Rosy" - a big, friendly, earnest sort of fellow whose unique nature cloaked, to a large extent, a very definite sense of purpose. He was an athlete of outstanding ability, an organizer of talent, and he was, perhaps as much as any man in our time, an unassuming, friendly gentleman. He was a member of Sigma Chi and Sphinx.
Upon graduating from Dartmouth he joined the Stanley Works in New Britain, after first serving in World War I as a lieutenant. After Stanley he- was superintendent of the cold mill of the Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and then in 1926 came to Rome, New York, and founded the very successful Rome Strip Steel Company.
Rome quickly found his qualities and he became a prominent and widely respected member of that community. He was an elder of the First Presbyterian Church, chairman of the Rome Community Chest and chairman of that Chest's commercial division. He was a member of the board of trustees of the Rome YMCA, a director and its president. He was a member of the Central New York Purchasing Association, the Rome Club, and the Masonic Fraternity in Cold Brook, N. H. He also served two terms as director of the Dartmouth Club of the Mohawk Valley.
In 1918, Rosy married Katherine M. Buol who survives with two sons, Hazen B. Jr. '42 and A. Buol Hinman '46, both of Rome; a brother, John H. Hinman '08; two sisters, and six grandchildren.
On Rosy's passing the Rome Daily Sentinel spoke the hearts of the citizens of Rome when it said, "One always knew where Hazen B. Hinman stood. He was an outspoken man of principle who never hesitated to say what he thought, and he won respect for the courage of his convictions and his forthrightness. But many do not know of the numerous personal things this man did to help others, such as assisting young men to go to college and helping others over the rough times in life. Mr. Hinman was a good man, an outstanding citizen highly regarded for his business and his personal life. The country needs more like him."
In Rosy's passing Dartmouth has lost another steadfast, loyal son and we who knew him send our understanding sympathy to the dear family he has left behind.
